Özet
Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumour (ATRT) is a rare malignant tumour of the central nervous system with embryonal
roots. The majority are seen in early childhood and location is often in the posterior fossa. Surgery, radiotherapy and
chemotherapy are used in treatment. Knowledge of the localisation of the mass preoperatively is necessary for direction
of the chemoradiotherapy and sufficient resection in surgery. Differentiation from other brain tumours is important
because of poor prognosis and differences in treatment. In this paper it was aimed to present the clinical and
radiological findings of an ATRT located in the cerebellopontine angle, which occurred with facial paralysis.
